Shoot Em Ups or rather SHMUP aren’t new to the AppStore, but of course, Chillingo must have one or two of them in store. That number will soon increase with the release of Assault Squadron:

You are a part of the Assault Squadron, an elite tactical space combat force dispatched by the Federal Alliance to defeat the alien enemy. Assault Squadron’s explosive sci-fi missions and in-depth storyline will thrill shoot-‘em-up fans and casual players as they battle to save the Earth.

Features

• 4 Playable Ships
• 4 Control Modes
• Boss Fights
• 3 Difficulty Settings
• Crystal Leaderboards and Achievements

The game does sound interesting but until I get a hold of the game, I’d reserve final judgment. I’d say this though, Chillingo’s Crystal network is slowly booming so an addition is always welcome…
